# Personal Investing

## What is it?

Many people like to save some of their income for the future, and investing is one possible approach.

If you decide to do this, how can you be sure that your money isn't supporting companies that don't align with your values? Check out the resources below to find out!

## Useful resources

Some great organisations to help you with your decision making are below:

#### [Mighty Deposits](https://mightydeposits.com/)

Find out what your bank is doing with your money and find a bank that invests aligned with your values. They only review U.S banks and credit unions currently. They pull together information from publicly reported data, financial institution websites, and surveys. You can check if your institution is certified as sustainable, if they invest in low-income communities, if they do small business lending, if it is women or minority-owned, and much more.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.oikos-international.org/sustainable-finance/interviews/lessons/bonus-learning/personal-investing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
